C.1928- looks like contemporaneous Grosset reprint. 343pp, photos, b/w illustrations and coloured plates which include Lindbergh's flight (Spirit of St. Louis) frontis.

Rubbing most severe where front panel meets DJ spine (fragile w/ some points of separation). All said, DJ is all there & together; still displays pretty well- esp. front panel w/ vibrant colors. Old illus. owner bookplate inside front cover- to me, actually adds to copy. Text only lightly toned & NOT brittle; tight, clean, unmarked. NO hinge splits or binding separation, NOT ex library.
